VENERABLE BROTHER: Health and
the apostolic benediction. Your letter
dated the second day OF April last has
reached us, in which you lament the con-
tumacious disobedience of q priest, one of
your subjects, not emily against yOur-
self, but also toward the Apostolic
See, and anxiously seek TO
bring before the supreme tribunal
of our authority the. false doctrines con-
cerning the right Of poverty, disseminated
by him among the people, in private and
in public assemblies. We, therefore,
moved by these, your words expressed to
us by Just grief of heart and in the con-
scientious discharge Of duty, have accu-
rately considered the whole series Of facts
from the beginning and have especially
seen with commendatiOn your tirmness,
Joined with signal charity 1t has been
indeed a great grief to us to see
THE REBELLION
which has arisen against your authority in
your city, through the deeds of some craft
ily devised Vaccinations and the open
conspiracy of faction of men, and our an
guish has been all the greater since, from
information lately conveyed to us, We have
heard that there are some Others of the
clergy imbued with the doctrines Of this
priest, who have not hesitated to
adhere TO him, although the clergy
generally of the whole diocese and the
greater and better part of the city, gladly
remained with unchanged will in faithful
obedience and loyalty to you. 1t Is in
deed grateful to us and approved by Us
that you have labOred to crush, ere they
sprang up, the vicious seeds OF doctrines
scattered under the pretext of helping the
masses. Nor is it less to your praise that
with long suffering and patience you have
not ceased with! !watchful industry to calm
PROUD AND REsTLEss SPIRITS,
although they have not refrained from
ISLANDERS against you and this apostolic
See. 1t is fitting then that you should be
of good heart and with unwavering firm
ness apply all your strength TO the work OF
the salvation of souls and in defending the
sanctity of faith and discipline. Never
theless, led by Christ you will leave
nothing untried that with paternal benev-
olence you may embrace those who are de-
ceiyed by this new doctrine, if they return
to wiser counsels. We, however will
never permit any injury TO your good
name aud dignity, much less to the author.

fail TO make known TO you through the
congregation of the propaganda, timely
measures
FOR TIE CORRECTION or THE REBELLION.
Meanwhile, we earnestly pray the God
of consolation that he will console you,
venerable brother tried by 20 many cares,
and as pledge of his divine favor and a
proof of our special affection for you, we

the people committed 10 your care the
apostolic benediction.
